I'll have to try again when I get my Zip card. I used to have an Amex that had RFID contactless that I converted to EMV early on that would have been nice for testing.

I also wonder if I can get an Android phone on the used market that Softcard supports, turn on prepaid T-Mobile service long enough to activate the app and simply use it with WiFi. Mainly interested in seeing if cardpeek spits out a more EMV compliant result or whether Softcard's implementation is magstripe based (and thus might have problems outside the US) like Google Wallet's.
